Is Allways Moving licensed?
Allways Moving is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 3618399) as an intrastate carrier: it may move you within New York, but a move across a state line would have to go through a carrier holding interstate authority, often a van line the company works for as an agent. Ask whose USDOT number would be on the bill of lading.
It has no safety rating on record in 5 years of registration (since 2021): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Allways Moving, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 9 trucks and 6 drivers, and the registration dates from 2021.

How Allways Moving operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 6 intrastate within 100 air miles. Read plainly, every driver it files works within 100 miles, the profile of a local mover.
- Commercial driver's licences
- None of the 6 drivers on its latest filing holds a CDL. A CDL is required to drive a truck rated over 26,000 lb, so on its own filing Allways Moving runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.
- Trucks
- 9 power units on file (9 term-leased), all straight trucks.
- Miles driven
- 280,000 miles reported for 2024, about 31,111 per truck.
- Cargo declared
- Household goods, plus passengers.

What a move with Allways Moving should cost
Not Allways Moving's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Kingstion costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Kingstion: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Kingstion: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $44–$55 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $515 – $845.

| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $251 – $405 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $339 – $625 |

Hourly rates are scaled to New York: hand movers there earn a median $21.46 an hour against $19.35 nationally (BLS, May 2025), so the model's national $40–$50 band becomes $44–$55 per mover per hour.

Before you book Allways Moving
- 1
Keep the move inside New York
Allways Moving is registered for moves within New York. For a move to another state, ask which interstate carrier would haul it and look up that company's USDOT number as well.
- 2
Ask about the 2 out-of-service orders
2 of Allways Moving's 10 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (20.0%, against 19.0% for all listed movers). Ask what failed, whether it was fixed, and which truck would do your move.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Allways Moving driver holds a CDL, so its trucks are rated 26,000 lb or less. For a three- or four-bedroom home, ask how many trucks or trips the estimate assumes; on an hourly job a second trip is paid time.
- 4
Ask whose truck arrives
9 of the 9 power units Allways Moving files are leased. A leased truck still runs under USDOT 3618399, and the paperwork on the day should carry that number.
- 5
Judge the estimate against $515 – $845
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Kingstion at $515 – $845 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $464 – $618. A surveyed, written estimate from Allways Moving far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
